摘要:
A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) head is coupled with a laser for providing energy and has an air-bearing surface (ABS) configured to reside in proximity to a media during use. The HAMR head includes a slider coupled with the laser and a HAMR transducer coupled with the slider. The HAMR transducer includes a write pole that writes to a region of the media, coil(s) for energizing the write pole and an interferometric waveguide (IWG) optically coupled with the laser. The IWG includes a splitter, a recombination region and arms between the splitter and the recombination region. The arms have multiple optical path lengths. The IWG is configured to provide the energy from the laser to the media by forming an interference pattern in the recombination region. An antinode of the interference pattern is at a region of the media and heats the region of the media for a write operation.
摘要:
A write retry processing unit repeats a write retry operation of a write and a verify, while performing a setting change of a focus offset for recording a data on an optical storage medium in case a verify error occurs in executing the write and a verify try fails. A learning processing unit retains a sum total of the number of adding times of the successful focus offset and the number of subtracting times of the successful retry offset as a learning result at the successful time of the write retry, and a write condition changing unit changes the focus offset setting value of the default so as to be drawn near to the latest focus offset which succeeds in the retry when the absolute value of the learning result retained in the learning processing unit is equal to or more than a threshold value.

An optical head in which focusing error is detected by a spot size method used for recording and/or reproducing information signals on or from an optical disc. The optical head includes a unit for correcting the spot shape between the objective lens and a photodetector device. The spot shape correcting unit corrects part or all of light spots formed on the photodetector by a light beam reflected back by the optical disc so that the spot diameter in a direction traversing a track on the optical disc will be larger than the spot diameter along the track.

A disk device has a positioning control system which has a disturbance suppression function in which the disturbance is suppressed quickly to prevent vibration of the head. In a positioning system having a disturbance suppression function of a disk device, an interface circuit for setting a known disturbance frequency to an initial value from the outside is installed. An unknown disturbance frequency can be immediately suppressed, or disturbance frequency control can be started from a known disturbance frequency, and even if the frequency changes thereafter, the estimated frequency can follow up to the disturbance, and the vibration of the head can be quickly prevented.

An optical pickup device and an optical recording and reproducing apparatus are suitable for use with a near-field optical recording and reproducing system. An optical pickup device comprises an objective lens composed of a solid immersion lens (SIL), the objective lens having a numerical aperture greater than 1, a beam splitter 102 for reflecting both of a p-polarized light component and an s-polarized light component of reflected lights from an optical recording medium when the optical pickup device irradiates the optical recording medium with a bundle of rays in a predetermined polarized state from a light source through the objective lens to detect a component in the polarized state perpendicular to the polarized state of reflected light obtained when a distance between the surface of this optical recording medium and the flat surface portion of the solid immersion lens (SIL) is zero to produce a signal corresponding to the distance between the surface of the optical recording medium and the flat surface portion of the solid immersion lens, a dividing means 110 for dividing incident light into a p-polarized light component and an s-polarized light component reflected by the beam splitter 102 and a photo-detecting means 120 for separately detecting the p-polarized light component and the s-polarized light component divided by the dividing means 110.

A moved distance detecting means (15) detects the moved distance in a tracking direction of an object lens, a position signal generating means (60) generates a position signal corresponding to the position of the object lens based on the detection, and a drive signal modulating means (40) modulates the drive current of a magnetic head (20) according to this position signal. Therefore, a drive current can be controlled according to the moved distance of the object lens to enable the magnetic head to be driven with a small current when a moved distance is small and with a large current according to a moved distance only when it is large, whereby it is possible to reduce an average drive current and hence reduce power consumption as a whole.
摘要:
Tilt (θ(r, φ)) is measured in a measuring location (P(r, φ) optical disc (2). A pivotable objective lens (34) is brought to a first focus measuring location such as to focus a light beam (32) in a first anchor point (P1(r−Δr1, φ))having the same angular coordinate φ as said measuring location (P(r, φ)) and having a small radial distance Δr1 from said measuring location. The objective lens is brought to a second focus measuring location such as to focus the light beam in a second anchor point (P2(r+Δr2, φ)) having the same angular coordinate φ as said measuring location and having a small radial distance Δr2 from said measuring location, wherein said first and second anchor pints are located on opposite sides of said measuring location. Tilt in said measuring location is calculated from the coordinates of said two focus measuring locations of said objective lens.

An optical pickup device includes an objective lens (2), with a numerical aperture (NA) being not less than 1, having a solid immersion lens (1) which is made up by a spherical portion (1a) and a flat portion (1b) parallel to a surface (101a) of an optical disc (101). The component of the reflected light from the optical disc in the polarized state perpendicular to the polarized state of the reflected light which prevails when the distance between the surface of the optical disc and the flat portion of the solid immersion lens is zero is detected. The so detected light intensity is associated with the distance between the optical disc surface and the solid immersion lens to accurately detect the minute gap between the optical disc and the solid immersion lens.

A data reproducer of the present invention includes a phase-difference detecting section which obtains the cross correlation value between the head pattern in a track to be reproduced and a reproduction signal, synchronous detectors which respectively obtain the cross correlation value between the head pattern of a track adjacent to the track to be reproduced and the reproduction signal, and crosstalk value detector which obtains the direction and ratio of crosstalk in accordance with these cross correlation values. The data reproducer has a correcting function which corrects the offset and gain of a reproduction signal in accordance with a phase difference and cross correlation value obtained by the phase-difference detecting section.
